Perhaps the readers OF the foa1-
IxrKLLTHKEcKn are tired listening 10
comments and criticisms On the late
perfoFmnnees of the Sc. Johns Musical
society, but az Olympia has something
to boast Of in this. II nos IN any other
direction, IL 10 only fair and RIGHT thar
sac should be allowed the Opportunity
20 do %.
On Wednesday evening after the CON-,
pAny had returned from their triP down
the Sound, the msms ess thought il I'D
sisable 70 give one last performances Of
iha Mikado for the benefit OF their
Musisal Director, w. n. Roberts. and
ia response 10 the no:ioe issued. Colum-
bia Hall on the above evening vas
crowded to excess. until even standing

foFmance was fully equal II cot sups

House, Seattle, on Saturday last. The
second act was we'll done and seemed TO
carry the audience by storm, although
witnessed by almost she same persons
twice previously.
As the Pos s-lNTKLLIdEECKR has al
reads given full and most impartial
report Of the opera, IL need only BE-
added that some Of the principal per-
formers we're on this occasion presented

determined that the Umbrella should
cover his nsi sssy,a head in the most ap-
proved STYLE. Mr.. o Brien took sis part
as sfFectuaIly as usual, his voice seeming
even stronger than when in Seattle.
The admirable manner 10 which Messrs.
Mayo. Ouilette and Woodruff rendered
their respective characters need not be
referred to here, bsing too we'll known
20 need comment. Mrs. Peteival as
Pitt Sing appeared to considerable ad-
vantage and the performance Of Der
pretty little dance brought the usual
hearty encore. Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs
Bolton also carried out their characters
In q most acceptable manner. although
the latter was suffering from severe
cold. OF the chorus enough could nos
be said. as it was everything that could
be desired.
Altogether, the "Mikado" by this So
eiety has been q grand success, and IL il
only to be regretted that the care given
10 It's renditios has not added mere ma
terially 60 the fund for which the So
ciety was oreaRizsd. The benefit. how
ever, on Wednesday evening was de-
ciaedly Successful, and the fact that the
company has made first-class Feputa-
ton for itself on the Sound will prob.
ably add largely to the treasury in casa
Of any future performances. The organ
| fund already amounts to about $500
being shout $1,000 short Of the amount
required, bus this fact does not In any
way dampen the courage of the N n
bera.
Previous to the performance on We'd
nesday evening, and between the acis,
the Juvenile Brass Band recently or.
Rauixed here RECALLED the audience with

appreciated By tina, gentleman.
